Ever feel like you’re dragging around emotional baggage you never signed up for? Maybe it’s childhood stuff you never processed, or trust issues from people who let you down. That weight gets heavy—fast.
If you’re constantly feeling anxious, low, or disconnected from others (or even yourself), you’re not broken. You’re human—and you’re not alone.

Say hello to Laura, your virtual therapist
As a registered psychotherapist and founder of Existence Therapy Clinic, I have extensive experience working with clients on nervous system regulation to enhance emotional processing, self-esteem, body image, identity, sexuality, sex therapy, relationships, attachment, and trauma.
Through my work, I’ve recognized the vital importance of mind-body-social healing and identified a gap between mental health services and accessible support. I am dedicated to increasing accessibility to mental health resources and empowering individuals through both personal and community healing to promote lasting change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can therapy help with childhood trauma?
Yes, therapy is highly effective for healing childhood trauma. It helps uncover how early experiences have shaped your self-worth, relationships, and emotional patterns—allowing you to rebuild a stronger, more compassionate sense of self.
What is trauma therapy and how does it work?
Trauma therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from past traumatic experiences. It works by creating a safe, supportive space to explore painful memories, understand emotional responses, and develop coping strategies for long-term healing.
How long will therapy last?
The frequency of your appointments will be discussed and determined during your initial therapy sessions, based on your unique needs. Typically, after six to eight sessions, you and your therapist will review your progress. Treatment goals will be assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary. It’s important to remember that you have full control over the therapy process. You are always free to discontinue treatment at any time, regardless of your therapist’s perspective. However, we encourage you to have a conversation with your therapist before making the decision to end therapy. Keep in mind, each therapy experience is individual, and outcomes can vary from person to person.
What are common signs of unresolved trauma?
Unresolved trauma may show up as anxiety, depression, trust issues, emotional numbness, relationship difficulties, or feeling constantly on edge. Therapy can help you identify these patterns and work through them at the root.
How long does it take to heal from trauma through therapy?
Healing timelines vary depending on the individual and type of trauma. Some people notice shifts within a few months, while deeper wounds may require longer-term support. Consistency and a strong therapeutic relationship are key to lasting change.
What will happen in the first session?
The first session, or “consultation,” is all about getting to know you and understanding what you’re going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.
Are Psychological Services Covered by OHIP?
Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy services. The coverage details, including reimbursement rates, may vary depending on your insurer and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage details and claim process. Payment for services is due at the end of each session. A detailed receipt will be provided, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
How do I book an appointment?
To schedule a treatment at Existence Therapy Center, you can email us at [email protected] or conveniently book an appointment online by clicking “Book a Consultation.” Once your appointment is scheduled, one of our therapists will conduct a comprehensive intake interview to assess your need for psychological treatment. We don’t have long wait times to get in with a therapist.
